Legal expert, Dr. Llewelyn Curlewis says the National Prosecution Authority would not have taken a decision not to prosecute Downer if there was evidence showing misconduct on his part.
Curlewis says the route Zuma is pursuing to privately prosecute Downer is costly and that chances of success in court are slim. He says, “Obviously, they must put down security for the prosecution and the purpose for that is to ensure that if they do not successfully prosecute, that those funds can then be used to pay the defence legal costs because of the fact that from the onset the matter was not supposed to be prosecuted. I must say I am not convinced that they will have success ultimately if they are very inclined to prosecute. So let be they put down security, let them bring Billy Downer before the court of law.
Curlewis says after private prosecution has been instated against Downer about the medical records, Zuma’s legal team could argue in the corruption trial that Downer has a conflict of interest.VIDEO: DPP declines to prosecute in the Adv. Billy Downer, Zuma matter:
